THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. Review

        THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. is based on the 60's television show which followed secret agents who worked for a secret international counter espionage and law and enforcement agency U.N.C.L.E. Now, almost 50 years later, we get the film version, directed by Guy Ritchie (Sherlock Holmes movies and SNATCH) and stars Henry Cavill (THE MAN OF STEEL) and Armie Hammer (THE SOCIAL NETWORK) as rival secret agents-Cavil for the U.S. and Hammer for Russia. The plot centers around the two men having to work together despite their dislike for one another, to protect the daughter of a Professor who has made a nuclear bomb. Their mission-find the missing professor and find the nuclear bomb before the bad guys and destroy the world. Your basic spy movie plot.
    What I liked about THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. is the chemistry between the three stars-Cavill, Hammer and Alicia Vikander as Gaby, the daughter of the Professor.Their chemistry and likable characters rise above the predictable plot and keep it from veering off into boring spy movie territory. without them, it would be a boring spy movie.
  My problems with the film involve a sometimes slow pace, a predictable plot,a confusing climax and forgettable villains.The villains are some of the weakest I've seen in a movie in a very long time. They are really never a threat to our heroes in the slightest.
  Despite those flaws, I found THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. to a stylish spy movie with a likable cast anchored by Henry Cavill.
  I give THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. a B.
